Thermold Magazines for the AR
Why aren't these magazines very popular? These still seem very readily availble even in the current market, I hear lots of people say they are comparable with the pmags. Is that true?
Anyone have experience with these? I have a guy locally selling the 20rds ones for $15 brand new and just looking for some opinions. Im in no rush to load up on these I have quite a few pmags on hand, just curious.

Ive got some 30 rounders that work fine. I believe as long as they are the Wilson, NC mags you're good to go.

I think theyre a great deal and were a smokin deal a few months back.Thermold haters are probably the types that will also diss Hi-Point as being junk even though theyve never actually held one let alone shot one.

Bought a bunch of these in the last 20 years,and never had a problem with them.I think the lack of popularity is because they just don't look as nice as Pmags.

Well I picked up 6 of them for $100 bucks, seems like an alright deal...
I will have to go out and put them to the test as soon as .223 prices come down or I can find some reloading components for it!!

They've always been hit and miss for me over the years. I mean they wouldn't be my first choice, but if they were super cheap...I'd pick up a bunch.
